It is interesting to see how the mind rebels on the premise of the flanerie. It seems to be a barely justified trip (literally) across a city, being 'scientific' about experience, which is fairly inherently not. It seems that a flanerie through cyberspace would be much easier to be scientific about, because although the contents of specific pages change, they do not do so drastically to really cause each trip there to be a significantly different experience. With a flanerie, I feel like the exterior conditions, weather, time of day/sun angle or lack, would lead to the documentation to be very sketchy. When you add in the tendency to take drugs of some sort on your trip, the impressions formed would be about a third formed from the 'permanent' surrounding actually to be documented, one third atmosphere, and the other third formed from the social interactions and mentally altered state. Quite far from any truth or credible opinion.
